The man in blue shirt and long robe attracted Fang Jie's attention as soon as he walked in. To be honest, this kind of man would attract people's attention no matter where he appeared. Whether you are in a busy city or in a temple.
The clothes he was wearing were not glamorous and looked a little shabby. But there is no doubt that such a person will never be blocked by others even if he is standing among a group of rich and wealthy children.
Seemingly indifferent yet fiery brilliance.
Fang Jie's wonder, with a hint of jealousy, is why there is always a kind of person in this world who does not need to use words to show his erudition, does not need to use clothing to show his status, and does not need to use money to show his wealth. , just standing there has a very powerful aura.
Although it was just a glance, Fang Jie felt it in his heart. The private room on the second floor opposite the Hongxiu Zhao stage should be reserved specifically for this person.
If it is reserved for a wealthy businessman or a high-ranking official in rich robes, then it will look a bit tacky no matter what. Although Hongxiuzhao is just a singing and dancing place, the status of the women here cannot be said to be noble.
but
Hongxiuzhao has never been a vulgar place, and Aunt Xi has never been a vulgar person.
When Fang Jie looked at the man, he was thinking, should he buy him a drink?
As soon as this idea came to mind, the man in blue shirt had already climbed directly to the second floor under the guidance of the old lame man. It was the first time that Fang Jie saw that the old cripple would treat a person with respect. At the corner of the stairs, the man turned back and glanced at Fang Jie again, as if he was a little interested in him. Although he was far away, Fang Jie could still see a faint trace in the man's eyes but it was not hidden at all. means.
It¡¯s not just curiosity, but also disgust.
What does he hate?
Fang Jie didn¡¯t know and had no time to guess, because just when the man climbed up to the second floor, several border soldiers rushed in from outside the door, pulled Fang Jie involuntarily and walked out.
"The general is looking for you, go to the market quickly!"
The face of Fu Baobao who found him was a little ugly, and he was panting when he spoke. Obviously the red sleeves move was not the first place he found. Maybe he had already traveled half of Fan Gucheng.
"What's up?"
Fang Jie asked as he ran along.
¡°You¡¯ll know when you go there.¡±
Fang Jie ran to the newly built wooden building of the Market Supervision Yamen in one breath. Fang Jie probably already understood what happened. Hundreds of tall horses were standing there in the market, and a Beiliao man wearing a dirty leather robe was leaning on a wooden post and playing his flute seemingly leisurely, but the music was trembling.
The reason why Fang Jie recognized the man in the leather robe as a Bei Liao man at a glance was because of the special appearance of the Bei Liao people. This is a strange nation. When Fang Jie first learned about this nation, he even thought he had traveled to a dynasty where court dramas were prevalent.
Men of the Northern Liao ethnic group wear braids.
Like the men of a certain dynasty that Fang Jie knew well, their foreheads were shaved, but they had a long braid on the back, which looked a bit weird.
Fang Jie probably knew the attitude of the Northern Liao people. They were not willing to be suppressed by the Mongolian and Yuan Empire. They had expressed their willingness to submit to the Sui Empire more than once. However, perhaps out of consideration for the overall situation, His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty never expressed his will to the Northern Liao Empire. What kind of statement did the Liao people make in their request? Although the Shiwan Mountains in the extremely cold land cover a vast area, they are indeed too barren. His Majesty the Emperor will not go to war with the Mongolian and Yuan Empire because of this barren land and this backward nation.
"Think of a way!"
Li Xiaozong glanced at Fang Jie and frowned tightly.
"How did you get in?"
Fang Jie did not answer Li Xiaozong's words but asked: "How can we enter the city with so many war horses?"
"Li Gandang, who is on duty today, is a fucking idiot!"
Li Xiaozong roared angrily: "After taking a piece of gold from that Bei Liao man, he let him in. When I asked him for questioning, he even confidently told me that the people he let in were not Mengyuan people, but Bei Liao people." People. The agreement between the Sui Empire and the Mongolian Yuan Empire is invalid for the Northern Liao people!"
"This guy¡¡"
Fang Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that Li Gan was notoriously greedy for money.
"However, what Li Gandang said is quite good!"
Fang Jie picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, cleared his throat and said: "The agreement between His Majesty the Emperor and Meng Ge does not seem to mention the people of Bei Liao, right? Then the people of Bei Liao are not there either.Within the scope of the agreement If the people of the Meng Yuan Empire get entangled with this matter, they won't be able to come up with anything. This matter will ultimately be left to the officials in the Ministry of Rites to argue with the prairie barbarians. I heard that each of the officials in the Ministry of Rites is more proud and cunning than the last. In terms of wrangling skills, the prairie barbarian is certainly no match. "
"You meanjust pretend it never happened?"
Li Xiaozong asked uncertainly.
"How can it be done?"
Fang Jie said seriously: "There is no trade between the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Liao people. The Northern Liao people always do business with the grassland barbarians Of course, they must have suffered a lot because of this. But at all. There is no doubt that it is against the rules for the people of Bei Liao to come to the door on their own! As for the foreigners who come to the door without the permission of the Sui court, and the foreigners who enter the border city of the Sui Dynasty"
Fang Jie glanced at Li Xiaozong: "Are they all regarded as invaders?"
"Theoretically, that's the case."
Li Xiaozong thought for a while and said.
"Then what are you waiting for, general?"
Fang Jie asked with a smile.
"Fang Jie!"
Li Xiaozong patted Fang Jie hard on the shoulder: "You are such a damn talent!"
¡¡
¡¡
That afternoon, an explosive news spread in Fangu City. The Bei Liao people who brought no less than 500 war horses to trade were captured by General Li Xiaozong himself. The Bei Liao people's horses were confiscated, and more than thirty Bei Liao men were chained and imprisoned in Fangu City. In the dungeon, he was said to have been severely tortured.
This matter spread like a strong wind, and it didn¡¯t take long for the Meng Yuan garrison in Nirvana City opposite the Langru Mountains to know everything clearly.
Captain Agudamu did not dare to delay, and immediately sent people to rush to the residence of Mandu Latu, the leader of the Mandu Banner, two hundred miles away.
The territory of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire was the largest in the world. Someone once said that one of the most troublesome things for the successive great Khans of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire was that none of them knew exactly how much territory they had and how many subjects they had. Because the territory of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire was so large that it was impossible to survey and map it.
The Mongolian and Yuan Empire was divided into forty-eight banners, the smallest of which also managed thousands of miles of pasture. The closest to Fangu, a border town in the Sui Dynasty, was the Mandu Banner, and its owner, Mandu Latu, was a tough fighter. The banners of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire were like the counties of the Sui Dynasty, varying in size. The candidates for the banner leaders were all appointed by the first great khan of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire, and then inherited hereditary.
Mandu Latu was a fanatical and warlike man, and he had more than once requested Meng Ge, the Great Khan of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire, to attack the Sui Dynasty.
But it is said that this guy has six wives, three of whom are Han Chinese.
Whether what happened in Fangu City will become the trigger of the war between the Mongolian Yuan Empire and the Sui Dynasty, no one can say. But Li Xiaozong knew that he had to be prepared at any time. He ordered all eight hundred border troops to cancel their rest and assemble to prevent a surprise attack by the Meng Yuan Empire. At the same time, someone was sent to Jibeicheng, the county governor, to report the news and ask Wu Peizhi, the county governor, to make a decision.
When the news reached Jibei City, Wu Peizhi was immediately shocked.
He only cursed Li Xiaozong as a pig, and then immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to Chang'an City at an expedited speed of thousands of miles. Jibei County is more than ten thousand miles away from Chang'an. Who knows whether a fight will already begin by the time the news reaches Chang'an? In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Wu Peizhi mobilized all the county soldiers to prepare for war, and at the same time wrote a letter and sent someone to the Youhouwei camp three hundred miles away.
The 50,000 elite soldiers of the Right Marquis Guards of the Sui Dynasty were the barrier to the northwest border of the Sui Dynasty!
Li Yuanshan, the general of Youhou Wei, was also born in the Li family of Longyou and was a direct descendant of the Li family. This man had great military exploits and was highly trusted by Emperor Yang Yi. Speaking of which, among the twelve generals of the Sui Dynasty, which one did not have outstanding achievements? Who doesn't come from a prominent family?
"Compared to those high-ranking generals, small border generals like Li Xiaozong are really not worth mentioning. Li Xiaozong is not worth mentioning, so it is needless to say that he only has a low-level position like the deputy of the scout team.
At this time, this unworthy little person was sitting in the dungeon talking.
"You Beiliao people are too idiots to do this."
Fang Jie looked at the leader of the Northern Liao man and sighed: "You think I can't see what your intentions are? Want to force Meng Yuan and the Sui Dynasty to use force? Force the Sui Dynasty to accept you? Idiot! Even a small official like me in the border town can see that all the big shots in the court are blind."
Fang Jie glared at the Northern Liao man fiercely: "Do you think you can drag two empires in with your inferior and idiotic strategies? Do you think you Northern Liao people can bring them in?"Does anyone have this qualification? You are too naive. I bet that whether this matter reaches Meng Ge¡¯s ears or is known to His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty it will only be a smile at most. "
Standing opposite Li Xian, the man from Beiliao was around 24 or 25 years old. He had a strong build, raised eyebrows, angry eyes, a long and thin face, and thin lips. Judging from his appearance, he was a determined guy.
"This lord!"
The Northern Liao man clasped his fists and said: "I admit that you have guessed our thoughts, and the result may be as you said. But as long as the Sui Dynasty and the Meng Yuan go to war, we Northern Liao people will do our best to help the Sui Dynasty defeat the Mongols. Yuan, will the emperor still not accept us? You may never understand our Northern Liao people¡¯s desire to change our home."
"I just do not understand!"
Fang Jie suddenly stood up, pointed at the man's nose and asked: "What's wrong with living an honest life? You have to fight and die to be happy? Don't you care how many people die? Aren't you afraid of Brother Meng's anger? Ordering the destruction of your tribe? You can live happily by guarding your homeland, okay?"
"grown ups¡¡"
The man from Bei Liao glanced at Fang Jie, with a flash of pain in his eyes: "You must have never been to Shiwanda Mountain, so you don't know how cold that place is. Maybe you think that the winter in Fan Gucheng is already very cold. It¡¯s hard to accept, but in our hometown, the weather in Fangucheng is warmer than our spring season! Only if you have been to Shiwanda Mountain, you will know what cold is, despairing cold.¡±
"We Northern Liao people are not afraid of severe cold, what we are afraid of is annihilation Starting from the last Great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, every five years, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty will launch a recruitment campaign for our tribe, saying that they want to recruit young men. Join the Wolf Cavalry. But in fact, the men who were taken away were slaughtered on the way because the Meng Yuan people were afraid and they didn't want our tribe to be strong, so they used such cruel methods to massacre our people. If this continues No. In thirty years our tribe will disappear from this world."
He looked at Fang Jie and asked word for word: "Do you think we shouldn't fight?"
"May I have your name."
Fang explained the question.
"Wan Yan Li Yao"
The Northern Liao man replied.
"Okay, Wanyan Liyao do you Beiliao people know how to blacksmith?"
"Of course! The scimitars in the hands of our tribal warriors are sharper than the knives in the Meng Yuan wolf riders! But we don't have iron. So we don't have enough weapons or arrows to resist the Meng Yuan people. The Wolf Rider.¡±
"There will be."
Fang Jie smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Anxin lives here. If nothing happens, it won't be long before you are taken to a very large city. There will be people who are higher than me who don't know how many." Maybe it's a good thing for you to have an adult talk to you."
"at last¡¡"
Fang Jie said gently: "My general asked me to thank you for your war horse on his behalf."
"You're welcome"
Wanyan Liyao spread his hands indifferently: "What Beiliao people lack most is iron and salt, and what they lack most is good war horses! And in this world, only we Beiliao people have cold-resistant war horses. I don't know Have you ever heard of one thing The reason why the Meng Yuan people always want to destroy my people is because the cold cavalry of our Northern Liao people is the only cavalry that can rush to the foot of the Snow Mountain, so the people of the Buddha Sect cannot For allowing us to have such strength, the Buddha Sect is a group of demons!¡±
Fang Jie nodded, turned and left.
At this moment, in the private room on the second floor of Hongxiu Building.
"You came"
Crow¡¯s feet could already be seen in the corners of her eyes, but her face was still mesmerizing. Aunt Xi looked at the man in front of her and spoke. There is no doubt that this is nonsense. Aunt Xi, whose exact age was unknown, looked calm, but her heart was fluctuating much more than usual.
The still towering breasts are dazzling, full of the charm of a mature woman.
"I have to leave, so I come first."
"Are you leaving again? Where are you going?"
"The most mysterious place of time"
The man in green shirt smiled faintly and said, "I have to go, otherwise it will be a pity."
Aunt Xi was stunned, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes: "Don't you have any other regrets?"
???????? Sad and helpless.
"If even those dangerous places can't keep me, I will come back to find you."
